yes of course it is because if it wasnt suppiled with that then the heart couldn't beat

Cardiac muscle tissue is supplied with nutrients and oxygen by which part of the human transport system?
Cardiac muscle tissue is supplied with nutrients and oxygen by the coronary arteries in a process called coronary circulation.
How long can cardiac muscle be deprived of oxygen before the cardiac muscle cells start to die?
5 minutes
How does lack of oxygen lead to heart attack or stroke?
The myocard (cardiac muscle), the muscle that makes your heart pump, needs oxygen to function. This oxygen is distributed through the blood that flows in the coronary arteries, which lie around the cardiac muscle. When there is not enough oxygen in your blood, the cardiac muscle does not get enough oxygen to fully function and your heart will not be able to function, over time. This starts at about 3 minutes after stopping to get oxygen.
What is cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is a type of highly oxidative (using molecular oxygen to generate energy) involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitation-coupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells. Coordinated contraction of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood from the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function
What is the function of the blood vessels on the outer wall of the heart?
Nutrients and oxygen have to get to the outside of the heart. So the blood vessels on the outside have that job. The nutrients and oxygen can't get to the cardiac muscle from inside the heart. Blood vessels that lead from the heart that are high in oxygen and nutrients have their first branch off the aorta that goes to these blood vessels. That's how important these vessels are to the heart and how it functions.
Does cardiac muscle have more mitochondria and depend less on a continual supply of oxygen than does skeletal muscle?
no
What is the function of the coronary artery?
The function of the coronary artery is to carry oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium (heart muscle), it does not actually take the carbon dioxide away, (that is the job of the great and small cardiac veins).
How long can a cardiac muscle cell live?
30 to 50 hrs without oxygen
When a muscle starts working hard. How do you think oxygen and nutrient needs change?
Need more oxygen for respiration. more nutrients for muscle growth.
What is The type of muscle tissue forming the heart muscle?
Cardiac which is involuntary and striated muscle tissueInvoluntaryThe heart is composed of cardiac muscle tissue. This type of tissue contracts rhythmically without external stimulus. Each cell will have it's own pulse until it comes into contact with another cardiac muscle cell, then they will synchronize their movements with each other. Over all the heart automatically responds to your bodies need for increased oxygen by speeding up, then slowing back down as the need is satisfied.Cardiac muscle.Cardiac muscle tissue.cardiac muscle.The muscle in the heart is cardiac muscle.

They are known as cardiac muslces. The heart is an organ as well as a muscle.cardiac muscleThe heart is made of cardiac muscle. It is involuntary muscle. That means that a person can not make it work by thinking about it. There are two other types. One is smooth muscle, which has no visible striations and it also involuntary. This is found in arteries and the walls of the digestive, urinary, other hollow organs and respiratory tracts and the irises of the eye. The last type is voluntary muscles such as found int muscles that move your bones. The heart is a MUSCLE.
Can you have a heart attack by having not enough oxygen in the cardiac muscle?
Yes, ischemia leads to heart arrest.
How does the structure of cardiac muscle help it perform its function?
Cardiac muscle is also an involuntary muscle. (Do you need to tell your heart to beat?) It is a specialized kind of muscle found only within the heart. This muscle pumps blood through the body. The average person's heart beats more than 4,000 times in an hour (figuring on an average of 70 beats per minute), so, by time you turn 70, your heart will beat some two-and-a-half billion times. Cardiac muscle, like smooth muscle, does not tire.
